Biomass

Anaerobic digestion

Hydropower.

Turley supported a number of 14th round bids to the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) for the award of Petroleum Exploration and Development Licences (PEDLs) through the completion of constraint analysis and preliminary site identification work. We remain active in the conventional and unconventional oil and gas markets.

At Haigh Hall our team successfully advocated a scheme for 32,000 photovoltaic cells (thus displacing 3,800 tonnes of CO2 that would otherwise be created) on land within the Green Belt and designated as a ‘Special Landscape Area’.
